Moneyball is a great movie for a variety of reasons, but Brad Pitt carries the film with his charming, funny and energetic performance. We won’t go the bad pun route and say it’s a "home run of a performance". Even though it is.

Dominic Cooper goes the Eddie Murphy route and plays two people in this movie, the sociopathic son of Saddam Hussein and the poor bastard who has to pose as the psychopath. Unlike Eddie Murphy, however, he doesn’t make the audience want to shoot themselves.

Albert Brooks doesn’t want to be bad. He really doesn’t. But being the head of a small gangster outfit in Los Angeles means that sometimes you have to murder people with forks. Even if you feel bad while doing it.
